With several major announcements so far this year, Google is positioning its Chrome OS and Chromebook line of laptops to become Windows true rivals.

We don’t post rumours too often around here but this one, if true, is worthy of mention. This evening’s babble would see Google unify its various chat services (yes, all of them) into a single product, Babble.

Samsung's latest Chromebook is so similar in exterior design to Apple's MacBook Air that not even YouTube's graphic designers can tell the difference, apparently.

Google today unveiled its new flagship, and very expensive, Chromebook - known simply as Pixel - for "power users who have fully embraced the cloud".

Google has unveiled a new MacBook Air-esque Chromebook "for folks living entirely in the cloud" that will be available to purchase later this week for $249.

While Google may have turned 14 today, its hugely popular browser, Google Chrome, has just turned four. In its first four years Chrome has risen to number one spot, edging a narrow lead over the once dominant Internet Explorer.

Chrome OS, Google's open-source operating system developed solely for the purpose of running web applications, has gotten its first major interface redesign since public launch in June of last year.

This year Google Chrome turned three, and we were in Google's Dublin HQ to see what the Big G has in store for its browser and OS.

Almost two years after Chrome OS was first announced in July 2009, Google have introduced the first Chrome OS notebooks, dubbed Chromebooks, with partners Acer and Samsung. Both Chromebooks will debut in seven countries, including the United States and United Kingdom, this coming June 15th.

Gadget blog Engadget have confirmed that the Google Chrome team are holding an announcement event in San Francisco on December 7th. According to Engadget the team are expected to announce a Google-branded netbook that runs Chrome OS.
